Kawhi wants to play with LeBron either in SA or LA- Cris Carter

[Mugen]

Dude, nobody is really buying it. It's just something fun to talk about.

White, Green, Kawhi, Lebron, Aldridge.

I guarantee at least some of the dummies in this thread is buying it tbh

[offset formation]

The only good news if Kawhi manages to finagle his way to the Fakers is that we will rape them of their young talent minus Lonzo I presume.

I'm guessing we would have Kuzma, Ingram or Hart, Randle, and picks.

Ultimately, that's not a bad swap.

My sauces have revealed to me that PATFO have their eyes on a guy overseas named LeRon James who wears number 23.

I'm believing this hahahaaha

anything’s better than signing half your cap away to a cripple

Murray and Kawhi to recruit Lebron, tbh...

And who is recruiting Kawhi yo stay here for less than the supermax, again?

The focus is not the Lebron part. It’s the 180 on Kawhi not hating SA

Correct. Which feels like Kawhi's team trying to get some space until the season ends. IMO, they are merely running out the clock until the attention on his absence can be quelled. I personally expect silence from his camp until he's traded, once the season ends.

[DPG21920]

What Jax said is what I’ve been saying from the get go regarding the motive. Kawhi wants and will sign the SuperMax if offered. This is all a ploy to let SA know he’s not here to take discounts. He’s injured for sure but the other stuff is him letting SA know they are on notice.

I said this a while ago and Jax just said the same thing.

Imo it’s Kawhi’s camp realizing their PR mistake and making sure to correct it since they saw the ramifications of their plan leading to Kawhi getting bashed.

Kawhi wants the max. That’s what this about.

Like I tell my kids all the time, if you want something, you damn well better earn it. Otherwise, don't even ask for it.

He certainly had earned it coming into this season. Not so much, since.

I'd hate to be PATFO this offseason. Assuming you are correct, they have a of a decision to make. I don't think I'd offer were it up to me. Too much stuff went down this year. And the question marks around his injury are too much for me to offer that kind of money. Especially when your player is a mute that let's his uncle handle his communication.

Still, if you up and trade him and he balls out for another decade somewhere else, you will forever be remembered as the jackass that traded away the franchise.

Kawhi for even making it difficult, tbcfh.

[coachmac87]

Everyone marking this rumor as damage control from Kawhi's group is right on. I don't get how there are so many suckers to fall for it.

He's changing the narrative.

"See? He's not an injury faking, atrocious cowardly teammate QUITTER ... He just wants to play with LeBron!

Would an injury faking cowardly quitter want to play with LeBron? No, because LeBron would never play with one!

Oh, LeBron is going to Los Angeles? Aww shucks, it's unfortunate but everyone can forgive Kawhi for going to LA. He wanted to stay in San Antonio and be a good teammate, but what can he do? The Spurs need to do right by Kawhi and take Deng, Zizic and a 2020 first in return. Kawhi deserves to get to LA as soon as possible!"

What about what Windhorst said???

He’s the ultimate LeBron source lol.

It depends on his health tbh. If he still cant wipe his ass after all this time, then we need to ship him out. Otherwise, we fukt if we trade him.

[BillMc]

What's weird is both Jack and Carter are changing their tunes. Didn't Carter say a week or so ago, that he thought Kawhi was done in SA? Didnt' Jack blame the whole team meeting on Pop? He still says that's so, but pivots away from it being a criticism of KL by Pop.

Weird.

Wonder if Kawhi's groupies have decided its better to have a softer stance in the public eye.

But, really, who knows. I know I don't

[Canyonero]

Dude, nobody is really buying it. It's just something fun to talk about.

White, Green, Kawhi, Lebron, Aldridge.

You forgot Anthony Davis

Randle is a free agent and would probably demand near max money to agree to a sign and trade here. No thanks.

[SAGirl]

this big three would be literally unbeatable, whether in SA or anywhere else, it would be impossible for any current team to face this team

until Kiwi tweaks a toe and sits out the entire season.

FIFY

[jsandiego]

Murray
Green
Kawhi
LeBron
Aldridge

That would be one formidable defensive lineup if we ever saw it.

[Chinook]

green opting out is close to a necessity to making this happen tbh

Not really. Signing Lebron outright is a dump idea to start with. This isn't a Paul situation where James can make more money by signing a new deal -- trading for James and extending him gives him as much money as he'd make on a new contract.

what's a viable trade scenario though? probably centered around LMA. we dont really have any young assets worth much.

All part of the plan. Get his numbers up; check; prestige built and reputation restored. Spurs can miss the playoffs, and trade a much more valuable Aldridge in the off-season. Leonard signs Supermax & returns fully healed (been fine pretty much all season, but this was the deal Pop worked out with LMA - scratch each other's back). Everyone wins. Conspiracy can be stretched even further; package inordinately large Mills/Gasol contract with LMA to match salaries with other Supermax to partner with Kawhi. LeBron probably.

Best CIA Pop ever.

I wrote that 2 weeks ago.

[21209]

Not exactly newsworthy.

Everyone would want to have LeBron as a teammate, except Kyrie Irving.

[21209]

Besides, he has a much better chance of landing in Houston than he would in SA and that's quite a longshot.
